US Libertarianism was founded by corporations. FEE, the Foundation for Economic Education, was originally funded by GM, Chrysler and Ford, the major retailers, steel producers, and others at the top of the Fortune 500 around 1946. The goal? Lobbying against labor & Government regulations. Milton Friedman (a huge fan of Ayn Rand) pushed out the propaganda against labor, government and rent control, as FEE was being paid by the National Real Estate board to lobby against rent control. They are pro-business and anti-democracy, unless you define that in terms of Oligarchy.
